Videos shot underwater are known to have significant color distortion. Typical causes are backscattering by floating objects and attenuation of red colors in proportion to the depth of the water. In this paper, we aim to analyze color correction performance and color distortion patterns for images taken underwater. Backscattering and attenuation caused by suspended matter will be discussed in the next study. In this study, based on the DeepSeeColor model proposed by Jamieson et al., we verify color correction performance and analyze the pattern of color distortion according to changes in water depth. The input images were taken in the US Virgin Islands by Jamieson et al., and out of 1,190 images, 330 images including color charts were used. Color correction performance was expressed as angular error using the input image and the correction image using the DeepSeeColor model. Jamieson et al. calculated the angular error using only black and white patches among the color charts, so they were unable to provide an accurate analysis of overall color distortion. In this paper, the color correction error was calculated targeting the entire color chart patch, so an appropriate degree of color distortion can be suggested. Since the input image of the DeepSeeColor model has a depth of 1 to 8, color distortion patterns according to depth changes can be analyzed. In general, the deeper the depth, the greater the attenuation of red colors. Color distortion due to depth changes was modeled in the form of scale and offset movement to predict distortion due to depth changes. As the depth increases, the scale for color correction increases and the offset decreases. The color correction performance using the proposed method was improved by 41.5% compared to the conventional method.

In this paper, the color distortion in images with haze would be analyzed. When haze is included in the scene, the color signal reflected in the scene is accompanied by color distortion due to the influence of transmittance according to the haze component. When the influence of haze is excluded by a conventional de-hazing method, the distortion of color tends to not be sufficiently resolved. Khoury et al. used the dark channel priority technique, a haze model mentioned in many studies, to determine the degree of color distortion. However, only the tendency of distortion such as color error values was confirmed, and specific color distortion analysis was not performed. This paper analyzes the characteristic of color distortion and proposes a restoration method that can reduce color distortion. Input images of databases used by Khoury et al. include Macbeth color checker, a standard color tool. Using Macbeth color checker's color values, color distortion according to changes in haze concentration was analyzed, and a new color distortion model was proposed through modeling. The proposed method is to obtain a mapping function using the change in chromaticity by step according to the change in haze concentration and the color of the ground truth. Since the form of color distortion varies from step to step in proportion to the haze concentration, it is necessary to obtain an integrated thought function that operates stably at all stages. In this paper, the improvement of color distortion through the proposed method was estimated based on the value of angular error, and it was verified that there was an improvement effect of about 15% compared to the conventional method.

The present study tested the effect of a top-down influence on recalling the colors of Stroop words. Participants remembered the colors of 1, 2, 3 or 6 Stroop words. After 1 second of a memory delay, they were asked to recall the color of a cued Stroop word by selecting out its corresponding color on a color-wheel stimulus. The correct recall was defined when the participants chose a color that was within ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ from the exact location of Stroop word's color on the color-wheel. Otherwise, the recall was defined as incorrect. The analyses of the frequency distribution of the participants' responses in the error trials showed that the probability of choosing the color-name of the target Stroop word was higher than the probability of other five color-names on the color-wheel. Further analyses showed that increasing the number of Stroop words to manipulate memory load did not affect the probability of the Stroop interference. These results indicate that the top-down interference by Stroop manipulation may induce systematic distortion of the stored representation in visual working memory.

디지털데스크는 일반 책상 표면에 프로젝션 화면을 만들어 가상물체를 사람이 직접 조작할 수 있는 인터페이스를 제공한다. 이러한 인터페이스를 구축하기 위해서는 전경물체 검출이 필수 과정인데, 지금까지는 조명과 배경의 변화로 인한 색상의 변화로 인하여 색상 정보를 사용하지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 디지털데스크 상에서 색상 정보를 이용하여 전경물체를 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 디지털데스크의 화면은 프로젝터를 통해 책상 표면에 투사되고, 투사된 화면은 카메라를 통해 영상으로 획득되는데, 이때 많은 왜곡이 존재하게 된다. 우리는 이런 왜곡을 기하 왜곡과 색 휘도의 왜곡 두가지로 정의하여 모델링하였고. 실험 결과에서 제안된 방법의 실효성을 입증하였다.

The haze removal algorithm using median dark channel prior is an efficient and fast method with relatively accurate transmission estimation. However, conventional methods may produce color distortion since the method ignores the color mismatch between estimated airlight and actual airlight. In this paper, we propose a color correction with measuring color fidelity in the HSI color space. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm gives better color correction scheme.

Purpose: This study was to investigate color distortion by colors and luminous transmittance of lenses with word-color test included in computerized neurocognitive function test (CNT). Methods: 32 subjects aged $21.97{\pm}1.58$ years with no ocular disease and color vision deficiency were selected. Four colors of tinted lenses, which were red, green and blue included in the primary colors of light and pink, and word-color test in CNT to evaluate changes in cognitive function by color distortion were used. Results: Response time was not significantly increased in green, blue, and pink among four colors, but significantly increased in only red color. And response time was significantly increased below 46% of luminous transmittance in red color. Conclusions: It should be cautious and careful of the red-tinted lens choice because red color with below 46% of luminous transmittance can distort colors of objects, and it could be related to safety problem. It is suggested that word-color test could be extensively used for further studies on color recognition.

프로젝션 화면(projection display) 상에 보여지는 가상의 물체를 사용자가 직접 조작할 수 있는 인터페이스를 제공하기 위해서는 전경 물체를 검출해내는 과정이 필수적이다. 이전의 색상 정보만을 이용하는 방법은 몇 가지 제약 조건을 가지고 있었다. 본 논문은 색상 보정 (color calibration)과 스테레오 정보(stereo information)를 이용하여 프로젝션 화면 내의 전경물체를 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험에서는 프로젝터를 통해 책상 표면에 투사되는 영상과 일반 캠코더를 통해 얻어진 영상 사이의 왜곡을 기하 왜곡과 색상 왜곡으로 정의하여 모델링 하였고, 스테레오 정보를 이용하여 얻어진 최종 결과를 통해 제안된 방법의 실효성을 입증할 수 있었다.

The detection of foreground objects in a projection display using color information can be hard due to changing lighting conditions and complex backgrounds. Accordingly, the current paper proposes a foreground object detection method using color information that is obtained from the input image to the Projector and an image captured by a camera above the projection display. After pixel correspondences between the two images are found by calibrating the geometry distortion and color distortion, the natural color variations are estimated for the projection display. Then, any pixel that has another variation not resulting from natural geometry or color distortion is considered a part of foreground objects, because a foreground object in a projection display changes the values of pixels. As shown by experimental results, the proposed foreground detection method is applicable to an interactive projection display system such as the DigitalDesk

Image distortion can occur when photographing deep sea targets with an optical camera. This problem arises because sunlight is not sufficiently transmitted due to seawater and various floating particles of dust. Particularly, color distortion takes place, causing green and blue color channels to be over emphasized due to water depth, while distortion of boundaries also occurs due to light refraction by seawater and floating particles of dust. These distortions degrade the overall quality of underwater images. In this paper, we analyze underwater images of the bottom of vessels. Based on the results, we propose a technique for color correction and edge enhancement. Experimental results show that the proposed method increases edge clarity by 3.39 % compared to the effective edges of the original underwater image. In addition, a quantitative evaluation and subjective image quality evaluation were concurrently performed. As a result, it was confirmed that object boundaries became clear with color correction. The color correction and contour enhancement method proposed in this paper can be applied in various fields requiring underwater imaging in the future.

실감모델링(Immersive modeling)이란 모델링하는 사람이 물체의 특성을 고려하여 오감을 활용하여 모델링하는 것을 의미한다. 실감모델링을 위한 오감 중에서 시각은 모델링하는 사람에게 가장 영향을 많이 주기 때문에 실제와 같은 색상과 형상을 생성하는 것이 중요하다. 그러나 가상현실을 위한 데이터를 실시간으로 다루기 위해 많은 데이터를 사용할 수 없고 처리 과정이 단순해야 하기 때문에 시각데이터를 획득하는 과정에도 이를 고려해야 한다. 그 중에서 반짝이는 특성을 가진 물체의 색을 정확히 표현하기 위한 방법으로 색상선(color line)을 사용한다. 색상선은 반짝이는 특성의 표면의 색을 이색성반사 모델(dichromatic reflection model)로 간주하면 색 특성을 표현하는 선이 생성되게 된다. 본 연구는 반짝이는 물체로부터 색상선을 추출하기 위한 방법으로 노출 시간이 다른 여러 장의 이미지로부터 색상을 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 노출 시간이 다른 이미지를 사용함으로써 한 장에 의해 분류하기 어려운 색상도 분류 가능하고 하이라이트가 발생하여 색상이 왜곡된 경우도 본래 색이 어떤 색상인지 추정되기 때문에 정확한 색상 추출이 된다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 측정 장비를 이용하여 3차원 형상과 색상이 동시 추출된 모델을 이용하여 렌더링된 결과와 제안된 방법으로 추출된 색상을 적용하여 렌더링된 결과를 비교할 것이다.
